I just started watching the Australian edition, and can't believe the 1st leg in this is almost exactly the same as the 8th leg in the 4th season of the Asian edition, when they both visited Indonesia.

If the US edition decides to finally visit Indonesia in this coming season, can we expect it to visit the same places and have the same tasks as the others? Like running and being pelted by rice powder and counting money.

Any way to move this out of the Amazing Race 18 section and start one for 19?

One of these days!

Possibly dropping a hint the show will start soon. He is currently in San Francisco, so probably the race starts in the west coast? If it does, it doesn't make sense for teams to head westward or to Europe/Eastern Canada.

So sad to read in the news that the Chilean volcano "Puyehue" is causing the cancellation of pretty much EVERY flight from south american countries such as: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru and Bolivia.

I wonder how much this will affect the race if they were planning to come over here....

If anything it will delay the race possibly? South America is almost needed to be visited.

Generally speaking summer races won't hit South America, though. It's more than likely to be a Europe / Africa (maybe) / Asia race than anything. Plus they could just as easily adjust the route as needed (much like TAR 15).

I would actually be surprised to see a visit to South America this time around. As Zack said they do not frequent the continent in the summer filmings. They did visit Brazil in season 13 but that particular episode was filmed in April.

Since the most recent race skipped Africa I would expect to see it visited instead, unless the political unrest issues prevent it.

Is their any precedence for delaying the race because of this kind of issue. It seems more likely that they would just adjust the route. They probably have certain events set up in localities around the world to occur on certain days and such a delay would throw a wrench in the entire plan.

I am fairly new here. I followed closely TAR 17 because I was familiar with Jonathan and Connar but never got back for 18. Has anyone on this board ever auditioned for TAR? Forgive if it is a dumb question, but I have not read all the posts.
